Waikato both as i show ring horse and a sire. Gourie Maid, No. 666, is one of th( best brood mares in the Waikato al the present, both as to consistency ir breeding and quality in her offspring, She has never suffered defeat in class for mare and progeny. Eoyal Maid has won prizes as a filly in good company and has been one of two horse teams arid also of three horse teams with great success. She has been a consistent and successful breeder. Ben McDhu, who is a nice dark bay in colour, with particularly good markings, gave great promise of following the show ring feats of his ancestors, but owing to an accident met with in his youth he has never been shown. He shows immense power combined with good quality and soundness from any hereditary in ections, and his breeding should insure his success as a sire, us every stlain on either side of his lineage is of the best, and to enumerate the prizes won by them would fill a volume. His pedigree could be extended to an indefinate length, as General Fleming, 305 •, Crown Prince, 430 ; Young Banker, I"; Lord Salisbury (imp,), 114; and many more names of well-known champions appear in tracing his breed-* in*; so it will be passing strange if Ben McDhu does not prove a profitable acquisition to draught horse breeders who may use him.
